Here are a few thoughts I have about Takara's TFA toys.

1. I like that they're packaged in robot mode.

2. I like that they've got the proper colored faction symbols instead of the silver ones Hasbro did.

3. Interesting that the packaging has a "technical point" scale for the level of transformation difficulty.

4. I really like that Takara keeps using the American names instead of the traditional Japanese names (Optimus Prime, Autobots, Decepticons, Bumblebee instead of Convoy, Cybertrons, Destrons, and Bumble). The Transformers have never been as popular in Japan as it has been elsewhere in the world ... so I'd like to think that what they were doing all those years just wasn't working. It makes things much simpler just having it be Optimus Prime no matter what country you're in.

Unless I'm missing something what's Interesting is that cliffjumper and bumblebee have a different "technical point" rating

Bumblebee is Deluxe class, while Cliffjumper is an Activators class. Thus they're two different size groups.

Damn Takara for including collector cards... I like the Hasbro versions better, but I'm a sucker for those collector cards. Must resist trading in all of Hasbro versions for the Takara ones...

Either that or the Michael Bay movies made Takara want to seperate American product from Japanese product as much as possible! It's only Movie and Animated that use the US names, Masterpiece, Alternity, Encore et al are still using the J-names.

I also think it's great that for Japanese a release, there seems to be more English on the packaging than their own native language :D

But yeah, even as a big Hasbro supporter, I'm really digging what TT is doing with the line. I may consider picking up the battle packs to keep MISB.

I could care less about the Animated stuff I had them all but had to sell most of them because of the job situation, just hoping the rest of the animated figures shown off last year won't be cancelled.

Awesome, well they've shown one of the many Transformer reissues which is Hound now what about Predaking and Sixshot and of course the rest for those who don't have them. =P~
